A Surprise in the Dorset Countryside

Firstly an apology. This should have been written and posted last week after I arrived home from Hilfield.

But, you know how it is, when you are back in your own environment 

all sorts of other things clamour for attention - and usually get it!

Hidden in a copse of trees at Hilfield is

The Secret Garden. 

Once you have followed the path through the edge of the copse, you are transported into a world of colour and fragrance. 

I can show you some of the colours, but I do not have the technology to share the fragrances.

Walking in the tree-surrounded garden is like be transported into a parallel world - but there is time to enjoy what you see and smell, and not rush on to the next item on the agenda. God's creation is all around, and he is to be praised.

To God the Father, who created the world;

To God the Son, who redeemed the world;

To God the Holy Spirit, who sustains the world;

Be all praise and glory, now and for ever.
